The Cooperative Mule: A Better Way to Apply Herbicides

Carl & The Mule
Do you work in the invasive weed management industry? Do you wish there was an easier, faster and cheaper way to apply herbicides to large areas? UCCE's Carl Bell might have a solution for you...

I recently accompanied Mr. Bell, UCCE's Regional Advisor on Invasive Plants, to one of his trial sites in East County to shoot some footage of what he refers to as The Mule. This vehicle was built to make spraying herbicides on large acreages much easier, faster and cheaper than backpack sprayers carried by one person or a team of people. To learn more, check out our video below and if you have questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments below or contact Carl Bell via email.

Enjoy!
